The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I am sure you have been watching the Trump Rally going on right now in DC. But you may have missed this. Trumps was running though his talking points regarding the tens of millions of illegals, most of then not vetted, that Biden let in over the past four years.... then he transitioned into migrant crime, citing a few horrific cases that had been in the headlines... and he concluded by saying that 52% of these illegal immigrants had committed more than one murder.

If you had been watching and following along you know he was talking about the gangs, MS-13, the cartels, Tren de Aquarium, etc were coming in, embedded among the rest, and that 52% of these vicious gang members had committed more than one murder.

But the way he phrased it, it came across as 52% of all ten or twenty million of them. It will be fun and instructive, how much context is included when the MSM explodes this into the daily news cycle.
